let the curtain fall


So as is the habit of my housemate and I we like to do things literally on the spur of the moment- and well yesterday was no different. In the middle of doing the housework we decided hey lets not clean the blinds lets just get new ones! so we ventured over to the curtain shop - and preceded to spend the next I don't know 40 minutes trying to decide what would be right- in the dining room, in the my bedroom, and in the spare room. Its actually really hard to choose curtains - have you ever had to chose curtains.??? So the choice was made. We got home and I thought I really liked option b better, so I went back and changed them for option B. then it turns out we didn't buy enough so i had to go back and buy more, then it turns out that they are too long, so I had to go back and buy hemming tape ( a great invention by the way) All this time Dad was here - I mean he thought he was just coming up to whipper snip, but he also had to drill holes, put up curtain rods and offer interior decorating advice. perhaps this is why you don;t just decide to do these things on the spur of the moment. I think they look good though - and am now thinking that we should do the whole house in new curtains....

OMG - I am serious when I say that I had the thought yesterday that we should get block-out curtains for the bedroom where the baby will sleep for the first 3 months. I am serious. You went out and got curtains...sounds like a hectic but worthwhile time. I am jealous.

Now that came out of nowhere, after the big no spend August you've created a monster! Nice curtains btw. Wish I could be spontaneous.
